I just want to point out that you're probably going to be better off buying an Acekard 2i, since it has a single site with all the updates.

Actually coming from someone who owns both the R4i Gold and Acekard 2i, I suggest going with the R4i Gold.
A few reasons I can list: R4i Gold has faster updates both for Wood R4 and the card's firmware, Wood R4 has pretty most of the features of AKAIO just simplified, and the card doesn't have that annoying connection issue.
